My code:

    import csv

    root = etree.Element('data')
    #f = open('input1.txt','rb')
    rdr = csv.reader(open("input1.txt",newline='\n'))
    header = next(rdr)
    for row in rdr:
        eg = etree.SubElement(root, 'eg')
        for h, v in zip(header, row):
            etree.SubElement(eg, h).text = v

     f = open(r"C:\temp\input1.xml", "w")
     f.write(etree.tostring(root))
     f.close()

I'm getting an error like:
